Song of Songs 4:1-7

1Behold, you are beautiful, my love, behold, you are beautiful! Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats leaping down the slopes of Gilead.

2Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that have come up from the washing, all of which bear twins, and not one among them has lost its young.

3Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely. Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.

4Your neck is like the tower of David, built in rows of stone; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors.

5Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that graze among the lilies.

6Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, I will go away to the mountain of myrrh and the hill of frankincense.

7You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.
